I love wood. I always have. Its grain, figuration, texture and color to me seem like abstract paintings. Wood is strong yet resilient. Solid wood is natural. I only use solid wood, never veneer or plywood.
I design and build beautiful tables, each one custom-designed to suit the particular needs and preferences of each client. Beautiful tables begin with beautiful wood. Fortunately, I have sources for high quality wood, every board of which I hand-select. Clients are welcome to come with me to help select the actual wood for their table.
My background includes 50 years of woodworking experience plus fine art and engineering which enable my designs to take into account both aesthetics and functionality. Thus, my tables are both attractive and comfortable in use.
Prices depend on the size of the table and the cost of the wood. Consultation and design are free -- there is no cost or obligation until the project actually begins. I ship or deliver from my workshop in Merion, PA near Philadelphia.

For Live Edge Maple Dining TableWe are beyond pleased with our beautiful English Elm live-edge table by Fred Blum! Fred's work truly sparks immense joy. We embarked on the custom table journey unsure of exactly what we wanted, but Fred guided us along the way, taught us so much about the process with patience and care. The final product blew us away, even though Fred had kept us posted on his progress, seeing the table in our space for the first time was truly awe-inspiring. We love the table, and our house now feels like a home with this statement piece built by Fred. I highly recommend using Fred for your next custom project.

For Wendy's Kitchen & BarI ordered a large tray to sit on top of an ottoman. The finished product is perfect. It is very well made, attractive, sturdy and beautifully finished. He reached out to me with questions, gave his phone number for convenience. He sent a photo of another project similar to mine and completed everything in the time frame he specified.

For Dining tableWe couldn't be more pleased with our whole experience on CustomMade and, specifically, with Fredric Blum. Once a price and project was agreed upon, we received regular emails which included updated time frames, photos of the work in progress, and delivery information. He was polite, professional, well spoken, and a very, very talented craftsman. Without hesitation we would recommend his work (and already have!). Thank you for such a beautiful dining table. We will enjoy it for years to come - so exciting to see our idea come to fruition!

For Walnut Slab Dining TableIt was a pleasure to work with Fred on our Walnut dining table. He was very timely with his response to our emails and answered all our questions and concerns with great detail and precision. His knowledge and expertise helped us picked the right slab for our home, and he was very quick to help us fix any issues and troubles we had when ordering our slab. He kept us updated on the whole process, from purchasing a slab to making the slab into our dining table, to shipping it to us in a timely manner. The craftsmanship is so exquisite and the attention to detail shows on the table. We thoroughly enjoyed the process, and we are loving our beautiful custom made table. Fred made the whole process very smooth and easy. If there’s another chance in the future to add more custom pieces to our home, we would definitely collaborate with Fred again!

For Live Edge Walnut TableWorking with Fred, was an absolute pleasure. He provided me a tremendous amount of options and communicated the pros/cons at each decision point. Fred kept me in the communication loop throughout the process with status updates and pictures. Fred shipped the items in protective crates. I am extremely pleased with our table and I highly recommend Fred.
